Next general meeting scheduled for March 15 | Our club's next general meeting will be held virtually via Zoom on Mon., March 15 at 7:00 p.m. Login to your CCAM account from our website to register for the Event. You will then receive the Zoom link by email. This will be a simple business meeting with no official "program" as we were hoping to be gathering in person by now. The revision of the bylaws will be presented as well as the proposed slate of officers for the 2021-22 year. | | | | | | Each semester the Collin County Aggie Moms Club recognizes recent Collin County Aggie graduates. Since this past year has been so unusual, we are planning to recognize ALL of our graduates from May 2020 to May 2021 at our May general meeting. Our board is working on the timing of the meeting to ensure we follow the applicable COVID protocols in place at that time. We will communicate the time and location of our graduate recognition as we get closer to the meeting date.
Date: Monday, May 17, 2021
Since this will be an IN-PERSON recognition for you and your graduate, please let us know that you will be attending our May 17th meeting (please limit to graduate and three guests) by completing the following information by April 15th so we can plan accordingly with COVID restrictions.
Congrats & Whoop!

| | | | | | | | We will have 75 goodie bags available in April for pick up at a date and location to be determined. The bag will be a black canvas laundry bag with white print. The contents are still in development but the gift card this time will be to a coffee shop. For our new Aggie moms, we offer goodie bags for sale each semester right before finals. Normally, they are available to be picked up at the MSC by your Aggie. Aggie Moms clubs from all over Texas reserve space at the MSC for this fun tradition, but due to COVID, we will have an alternate plan again this spring. The bags will be $20 each with a limit of four per mom. Keep posted on the contents of our spring bag. Also, if you have suggestions for an item(s) to include this semester, OR if your place of business has something to donate or for us to purchase, please let us know. We love making these bags special for our Aggies, so all feedback is greatly appreciated. Email us at CCAMGoodieBags@aggienetwork.com. Thanks and Gig 'Em!
